Sounds like it's a Packing Error to me. You can get Customer Services to replace it or it's probably cheaper than the phone call to Customer Services to buy some 1mm Brass Rod on EBay for 99p. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1MM-B...&hash=item4171db3263

i dont think so andy if you look at contents list in mag it says 2 axels i first thought they were longer but no theres only about a centermeter left when you cut them to length for first cannon

I wonder if they've muddled up the 2 Cannons, as we have had some smaller Cannons with only a single Axle. I guess this is a question for the Man himself then, Mr T. But, as I say 1mm Brass Rod can be had for next to nothing, although the Kit should be correct.

But if you need 4 axles, you need 8 wheels. If you only got 4, that is a problem.

I remember reading some time ago, that when a "Man-o'-War" attacked and captured an enemy ship, it was common to "liberate" the ship of it's armament, especially if they had some nicer pieces, thus it was not uncommon for ships of the line to have guns of different manufacture and nationality. So, if you have any spare guns of approximate size, they could, perhaps, be put to good use and increase authenticity ?
I for one, have no idea if Sovereign of the Seas ever saw action though.

I was under the impression that you had to be very careful, cut each axle to fit and the little bit left over just does the cannon barrel so it sits on the carriage.

Issue 30 has a gun kit, an axle (too short to be cut in two) and two wheels. When I looked in the magazine, it showed ......... wait for it .......... a gun kit with axle and two wheels

Often where there are duplicate parts, the parts contained image may only show one item, but the description list notes the actual quantity..
